EASY REAL BRITISH MINT SAUCE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Pull the leaves from the stalk of the mint. Roughly chop the leaves.
• Place the chopped mint leaves into a heatproof jug, sprinkle over the sugar, then pour over the boiling water. Stir gently, cover, and place to one side, and leave to cool.
• Once cool, stir in the vinegar and taste the sauce. If it is too strong, just add a little more water. Too weak, add more mint. Cover again and leave to one side for at least an hour, longer if you have the time. The mint flavor will seep into the sugar-vinegar as it sits.

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, bring the vinegar and sugar to a strong simmer, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Simmer the mixture until the liquid is reduced to about 1 cup, about 16 minutes, swirling the pan occasionally. Off heat, set the pan aside to cool slightly, about 5 minutes. Reserve 3 tablespoons of the chopped mint; add the rest of the mint and a pinch of salt to the vinegar mixture, stir to blend, and set aside to infuse for about 10 minutes. Set a fine mesh strainer over a medium bowl and strain the mixture (you should have about ¾ cup). Stir in the reserved 3 tablespoons mint and serve (can be covered and refrigerated for up to 5 days).

Increase the heat to high and bring to a boil; immediately remove from heat and allow the mixture to steep for about 15 minutes. Strain through a fine mesh strainer. Stir 1 tablespoon bourbon into the sauce to finish.
